The need for research in practice is well documented within nursing and other health care disciplines. This acceptance is predicated on the belief that clinically applied research will inform and improve practice and health service delivery resulting in better outcomes for consumers and their families. Nurses, however, find doing clinical research challenging. This paper describes nurses' experiences of doing clinical research. The main challenges of doing clinical research arise from a culture that prioritises practice where nursing work is core business and there is the need to address immediate and short term goals. There are also problems associated with the use of research language amongst clinical nurses and ambiguity in relation to research role expectations. Lack of support and resources for doing research along with keeping up the momentum for a research project also pose significant challenges. The benefits of doing clinical nursing research include experiential learning that has the potential to lead to practice change and improved patient outcomes that are evidence based.
护理及其他医疗保健学科对实践研究的需求已有充分记载。这种认可基于这样一种信念，即临床应用研究将为实践和医疗服务提供信息并加以改进，从而为消费者及其家庭带来更好的结果。然而，护士们发现进行临床研究颇具挑战性。本文描述了护士们进行临床研究的经历。进行临床研究的主要挑战源于一种优先重视实践的文化，在这种文化中，护理工作是核心业务，且需要实现近期和短期目标。临床护士在使用研究语言以及研究角色期望方面的模糊性也存在问题。开展研究时缺乏支持和资源，以及维持研究项目的动力也构成了重大挑战。进行临床护理研究的益处包括经验性学习，这有可能带来实践变革，并改善基于证据的患者结局。
